ABSTRACT
AIM: To observe the effect of eccentricity of the optical treatment zone on retinal defocus after wearing orthokeratology lens for 12mo.METHODS: In this case-control study, a total of 120 myopic patients(120 eyes)who completed the fitting in our hospital from March 2021 to September 2021 and insisted on wearing orthokeratology lenses for 12mo were selected. According to the eccentricity after wearing lenses for 12mo, they were divided into the low eccentricity group(<0.5mm, 58 cases, 58 eyes)and the moderate and high eccentricity group(≥0.5mm, 62 cases, 62 eyes). The optical treatment zone diameter(OTZD), eccentricity, axial length(AL), pupil diameter(PD)and refraction difference value(RDV)were evaluated after 12mo of wearing orthokeratology lenses, and the correlation between RDV and eccentricity was analyzed.RESULTS: After wearing orthokeratology lenses for 12mo, AL growth and RDV at 30°～40° and 40°～53° from the fovea were significantly lower in the moderate and high eccentricity group than in the low eccentricity group(all P<0.05). In all patients, RDV at 40°～53° from the fovea was positively correlated with AL growth and OTZD(rs=0.544, 0.333, both P<0.01), and negatively correlated with eccentricity(rs=-0.224, P=0.014).CONCLUSION: Peripheral retinal defocus is related to eccentricity and OTZD after wearing orthokeratology lenses. The greater eccentricity and the smaller OTZD within a certain range can induce more peripheral retinal myopic defocus, leading to a better control of AL growth.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To explore the current research progress, hot spots and future development trends of myopia in children and adolescents at home and abroad, thus providing references for the further research on the field.METHODS: Using China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)and Web of Science(WOS)as data sources, the literature on myopia in children and adolescents from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2022 was collected. Visual analyses were conducted based on the quantity of the published articles, authors, publishing institutions, journals as well as keyword co-occurrence, clustering, timeline graph and emergence by using the VOSviewer and CiteSpace.RESULT: The number of publications on myopia research has increased steadily both articles in Chinese and English. Xian-Gui He and Saw, Seang-Mei have published the most papers, and the Chinese Journal of School Health and Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science published the most related articles. Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Center, and Sun Yat-sen University are the institutions with the most publications in the area. Clinical observation is the main focus of research both domestically and internationally, with orthokeratology, outdoor activities, axial length, prevalence, and influencing factors attracting much attention.CONCLUSION: Current research on myopia in children and adolescents focuses on the epidemiology, intervention measures, and biological parameters of the condition. Future research on myopia epidemiology is likely to become a major focus of research in this area.
ABSTRACT
[Objective] To investigate the significance of liver biopsy in differential diagnosis and prognosis of congenital biliary atresia (CBA) and infant hepatitis syndrome (IHS).[Methods] Totally 77 children with congenital biliary atresia and 48 infants with hepatitis syndrome treated in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital from December 2012 to December 2016 were examined by liver biopsy and follow-up.Combined with immunohistochemistry and PAS staining,reticular fiber staining,Masson staining techniques,we make comparative analysis of both histopathological features and prognosis.[Results] The liver fibrosis grade,hepatic lobule inflammation activity staging,the degree of bile duct hyperplasia and the prognosis of CBA and IHS infants were statistically significant (P＜0.05).S2-S3-based liver fibrosis grading in infants with CBA,mainly in G2-G3 hepatic lobule inflammation staging,bile duct hyperplasia significantly;IHS infants with liver fibrosis grading as S0-S1,liver Slice inflammatory activity stage to G1-G2-based.The prognosis of infants with CBA was significantly worse than IHS,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).[Conclusion] The early liver biopsy of infants with congenital biliary atresia and infant hepatitis syndrome,combined with immunohistochemistry and PAS staining,reticular fiber staining,Masson staining techniques has important clinical significance to the differential diagnosis and prognosis of both.
